Definitions
- the invention relates to a chain according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the lubricant When relubricating such chains, the lubricant is applied to the chain from the outside, for example by drip lubrication. Due to the play between the inner and outer plates, the lubricant can also penetrate through the gap between them and from there into the gap between the bolt and the bushing. In operation, however, the play between the inner and outer link plate on one side occurs on one side and does not change even during chain rotation. This means that the lubricant flow in these joints is not optimal, so that fretting, increased wear and premature failure of an affected joint can occur. From DE-G 1 966 980 a steel plate chain is known in which the outer plates are rotatably mounted with bolts into the inner plates firmly pressed bushings.
- EP 0 257 661 B1 discloses a roller chain to which lubricating oil can be applied, in which the outer and inner plates are connected to one another via joints consisting of bolts and sleeves and surrounded by rollers. There is a gap in the circumferential direction of the roller between at least one end face of the roller and the adjacent inner plate and at least one radial oil supply opening aligned with the gap in each sleeve.
- the gap formed by at least one spacer element between the end face of the roller and the inner plate is longer in its circumferential direction than the circumferential extent of the spacer element or spacers.
- Fig. 1 shows a section of a chain in the side
- Fig. 2 shows the chain section shown in Fig. 1 in horizontal longitudinal section.
- the chain shown has two inner plates 1 per chain link, each of which contains circular openings at its two ends.
- One end of a bushing 2 is pressed into each opening of two inner link plates 1 so that the inner link plates 1 of a chain link are held parallel to one another at a predetermined distance by two bushings 2.
- a roller 3 is rotatably arranged on each bushing 2 between the inner plates 1.
- bolts 4 are rotatably supported, the ends of which protrude from the bushes 2.
- the bolts 4 carry outer plates 5, which likewise have circular openings at their two ends, into each of which one end of a bolt is pressed in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the two mutually facing ends of a chain link formed by two inner layers 1, two bushes 2 and two rollers 3 are thus separated by two parallel ends. ßlaschen 5 hinged together.
- the bushing 2 is on both sides beyond the outer surface of the inner tabs 1, so that when due to the displaceability between bolt 4 and Bush 2 abut the inner surfaces of the outer plates 5 each against the facing end face of the socket 2, a distance corresponding to the protrusion of the respective socket end between the mutually facing surfaces of the inner and outer plates 1 and 5 remains.
- the respective projections of the bushings 2 are provided with grooves 6 extending from the outer circumference to the inner circumference, through which the lubricant reach the bolt 4 and then into the gap between them and can penetrate the socket 2.
- the number and design of the grooves 6 are preferably adapted to the particular circumstances, such as, for example, the lubricant requirement, the viscosity of the lubricant, etc.
- four radially extending grooves 6 are provided, each of which is at a distance of 90 °.
- the depth of the grooves 6 suitably corresponds to the size of the projection of the bush 2 over the outer surface of the inner plates 1.
- the number of grooves 6 can be greater or less than four. They can also run at an angle to the radial direction. This can be advantageous insofar as it provides an additional conveying effect for the chain when the chain moves Lubricant can be achieved. Furthermore, the depth of the grooves 6 can change in the radial direction of the bush 2.
- the chain is shown as a roller chain.
- the invention is not limited to this, but can also be designed, for example, as a bushing chain without using the rollers 3.
